Diabetes

Diabetes disrupts how the body uses glucose, either due to insufficient insulin production or ineffective insulin use. This leads to high blood sugar levels, which, if unaddressed, can cause serious health issues.

Traditional diabetes care relies on periodic in-person visits, creating gaps in monitoring. Remote Patient Monitoring (RPM) fills these gaps by continuously tracking key health metrics like blood glucose. This real-time data helps healthcare providers make timely adjustments, leading to more personalized and effective diabetes management. 

Diabetes by the Numbers

  • In 2021, an estimated 38.4 million people in the US, or 11.6% of the population, had diabetes. Out of these, 29.7 million people were diagnosed, while 8.7 million remained undiagnosed.
  • Among the diagnosed cases, 352,000 were children and adolescents under 20 years old. The percentage of adults with diabetes increases with age, reaching 29.2% among those aged 65 years or older.
  • The most common age group for diabetes is 45 to 64 years old, followed by 65 years and older.
  • In 2021, there were an estimated 1.2 million new cases of diabetes diagnosed among adults aged 18 years or older, a rate of 5.9 per 1,000 people.
  • An estimated 97.6 million adults aged 18 years or older had prediabetes in 2021. This represents 38.0% of all US adults.
  • The rates of diagnosed diabetes in American adults by race/ethnic background are 13.6% of American Indians/Alaskan Native, 12.1% of non-Hispanic Black, 11.7% of Hispanic, 9.1% of Asian American, 6.9% of non-Hispanic White.

How Esvyda helps with Diabetes programs

Ensuring Continuous Data-Driven Monitoring

Remote Patient Monitoring (RPM) enables real-time tracking of vital health data, surveys, and messages, offering instant insights into patient conditions. Esvyda supports providers by identifying health trends and compliance patterns, enabling data-driven care decisions. With immediate access to this data, doctors can personalize treatments and make timely adjustments, enhancing patient engagement and helping prevent minor issues from becoming serious complications. 

Promoting Timely Communication

Telehealth consultations transform chronic conditions management by offering patients easy access to healthcare from home. This virtual approach allows for regular checkups, medication reviews, and urgent consultations, removing the barrier of in-person visits. Through video calls or secure messaging, providers can monitor progress, answer questions, and deliver timely support for consistent care.

Supporting Holistic Care

Integrating Behavioral Health Integration (BHI) with Remote Patient Monitoring (RPM) creates a holistic care model that addresses both physical and mental health. Through virtual health platforms, patients gain access to a multidisciplinary team, including psychologists, nutritionists, and health educators, empowering them to manage their health more effectively and improve quality of life.

Increasing Patient Engagement

Esvyda enhances patient comfort and support in using RPM devices through user-friendly technology and personalized communication, empowering them to actively manage their chronic conditions.

The platform offers automated reminders for medications, vital signs, appointments, and health check-ins, promoting accountability and adherence to treatment plans. This comprehensive, patient-centered approach transforms RPM programs into collaborative partnerships, enabling patients to take charge of their health and improve outcomes.

Improving Workflows

Esvyda enhances workflow efficiency by automating key processes like data collection, messaging, claims creation, and alerts, allowing healthcare providers to concentrate on critical cases. By integrating RPM systems, providers receive real-time updates on patient health metrics, eliminating the need for manual tracking.

Automated notifications alert teams to potential issues, enabling timely interventions and reducing complications. This efficiency improves care quality and boosts provider satisfaction by minimizing routine tasks, fostering a more effective healthcare environment.

Maximizing Revenue

By reducing the need for in-person visits and hospital readmissions, RPM lowers healthcare costs for both providers and patients. Continuous monitoring facilitates early intervention, preventing costly medical emergencies.

Additionally, RPM systems streamline billing with automated claims creation and tracking of billable CPT codes, promoting timely reimbursement and increasing the number of billable services. This efficient resource use lowers costs, enhances revenue, and enables providers to allocate their time and expertise effectively, ultimately improving patient outcomes while ensuring financial sustainability.
